Natural High

Sean is founder and co-leader of Lower Hutt's Natural High ensemble and choir. Natural High is a group of musicians and singers who enjoy friendship, inspiration and fun through beautiful music.

Storytelling

"Seanchie" (Sean-a-shee) is Irish for bearer of the old lore. Sean performs Maori and other myths and legends with drama, acrobatics, juggling, mime, movement, audience involvement and music. Great for conference openings, entertainment and information.

45 minute shows for schools, separated into junior and senior primary.

Sean O'Connor is sensational!  He has an engaging face, an endearing smile, and is a performer who involves the whole audience.  Sean is entertaining, athletic, and amusing, as well as sensitive, responsive, and informative.  At the Australasian Permaculture Convergence in Turangi (2012) Sean was able to lead an audience of several hundreds in a capella singing of Maori lyrics new to us, after entralling us with the mythology of a local legend as an opening to the convergence.  The next day Sean was motivating a group of energetic people to dance on the lawn.
I cannot recommend the man highly enough...employ him! Yvonne Andrews
